Vercia

The City of Sails often conjures romantic images of a magnificent port metropolis, majestic merchant galleons with bright sails, and dashing swashbucklers who greet their enemies with a playful wink and a tip of the hat. In reality, Vercia is anything but that. It's a dirty dive with filthy streets, squat buildings, ramshackle docks, creaky old longships, and crass pirates thinly disguised as sea traders.
Five High Captains rule the city. Each one is a glorified pirate lord who controls a fleet of longships. The five fleets serve many purposes: they defend Vercia against seafaring barbarians and other enemies, they conduct legitimate sea trade up and down the coast, and they raid and plunder the island kingdom of Valadhon to the east and the Crescent Isles to the west (and the occasional settlement on the coast).
